About this listen

A throwaway assignment is about to change two lives forever.

Aidyn Kelley is talented, ambitious, and ready for a more serious assignment than the fluff pieces she’s been getting as a cub reporter for the Kansas City Star. In her eagerness, she pushes too hard, earning herself the menial task of writing an obituary for an unremarkable woman who’s just entered hospice care.

But there’s more to Clara Kip than meets the eye. The spirited septuagenarian may be dying, but she’s not quite ready to cash it in yet. Never one to shy away from an assignment herself, she can see that God brought the young reporter into her life for a reason. And if it’s a story Aidyn Kelley wants, that’s just what Mrs. Kip will give her—but she’s going to have to work for it.

Wonderful Story

The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip is beautifully told. I love the way the author strings and weaves together words and imagery. The story itself touched a deep, personal place in my heart. Mrs. Kip is so inspiring! And yet, though she may not grow and change as drastically as her young friend, that growth is still there. Her life, and its thousand deaths, stir in my heart the desire to press on even through the shadow. This is a story I will listen to again and again.

One of my favorite books of all time. I so enjoyed reading this book and being inspired by the love of God captured in the story of Mrs. Kip. Truly an inspiration and encouragement.

Real Christian Fiction

What an inspiring author! I love both her books and want more, but this one speaks to me on a different level because of my life experiences. I love that she presents Scripture throughout her books as part of the story, not just a reference. Her books are full of life and lessons. Mrs. Kip led an extraordinary life that needed to be told! It's a wonderful read with humor and heartache, but full of life. I devoured both it and The Divine Proverb of Streusel in two days and want more!

Story packs a punch

I’ve enjoyed getting to know these characters. Mrs. Kip especially. She is the wise grandmother I never had. Thank you for the faith-filled adventure.

Favorite book of the year

Hang in there past the character building to land inside an extraordinary story of someone who lived beautifully even to the end…

Incredible work

I am not a fiction reader by nature, but the title’s description caught my attention. I am in Kansas City, I was in the newspaper business, and in May of this year, I stayed with my grandmother in her home the final 10 days on hospice.

But most importantly, I was looking for a bible study-one from psalms or the gospels.

Mrs Kip was the example of Christ I was looking for. The life I am longing to live. And although several years her senior, the self-less-ness young Aida learns to value.

Thank you Sara for this book, and to the narrator who never missed a beat in her deflections and tones. Everyone needs this book.

Inspiring, Must Read

I purchased this book after seeing a review on Instagram. I immediately fell in love with Mrs. Kip and could not stop listening. May we all be more like Mrs. Kip and die 1,000 extraordinary deaths.

One Of The Best Books I Have Ever Read! Highly Recommend!

I did finish listening to this book through tears. I think this book was given to me to read just at the right time that I needed to hear it. If you need spiritual encouragement in a book or are looking for a Christian book with a different sort of happy ever after, I highly recommend this. I think it would be a good book for someone who is grieving as well.

The person who read the book also did a good job with the voices and she was easy to listen to.
